The Effect of Hemolysis Upon the Oxygen Affinity of Hemoglobin in the Atlantic ( Salmo salar ) and Landlocked Salmon ( Salmo salar sebago )

Confirming the work of other investigators, hemolysis was shown to diminish the influence exerted by carbon dioxide upon the affinity of oxygen for hemoglobin (Bohr effect). There was no consistent difference between blood taken from salmon acclimated to summer and winter conditions. Furthermore, th...

Description
Summary:Confirming the work of other investigators, hemolysis was shown to diminish the influence exerted by carbon dioxide upon the affinity of oxygen for hemoglobin (Bohr effect). There was no consistent difference between blood taken from salmon acclimated to summer and winter conditions. Furthermore, there was no consistent difference between the effect of hemolysis on the Bohr effect between Atlantic and landlocked salmon.
